About this work

This painting shows a quiet lake with a few trees reflected in the water. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the trees and hills in the background. The colors are mostly soft greens, blues, and grays, with a pale sky and water. The artist used a lot of paint in some spots, making the texture stand out. This style is called *impasto*—it’s like the paint is almost raised off the surface. Check out the technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold brushwork.
